Review – The Bat

This must be part of the National Film Museum’s Project to Restore Crappy Old Movies Starring Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead (or NFMPRCOMSVPAM, which as acronyms go isn’t all that good). The killer in this stagey murder mystery dresses up like The Shadow minus the cape and plus a glove with sharp metal talons, making me wonder if Wes Craven didn’t see this as a kid and later echo it with Freddy Krueger’s infamous blades. Beyond that, however, this is a clunky bit of skullduggery and not much more. Mildly amusing
